[PATCH net-next] xen-netback: Fix pull size in checksum_setup_ip*

[PATCH net-next] xen-netback: Fix pull size in checksum_setup_ip*

[Zoltan Kiss]

Before checksum setup we need to make sure we have enough data in linear
buffer, so we do a pull if not. The calculation of the required data counts
with skb->network_header, which is the headroom size actually. This is not
necessary, and can cause unreasonable pulling. I've also removed
MAX_IPOPTLEN, as we only need the base header at that point.

Or would it make sense to drop header_size and use off + something as 
function parameters?

The net-next tree is no open, therefore it is not appropriate to submit
patches targetting to that tree at this time.

I will make an explicit announcement on netdev when I have openned
the net-next tree, so it will be clear exactly when you can submit
patches targetting that tree again.

Thank you.

Possibly best not to top-post to your own thread ;-)

Agreed; now that we've gone from mostly 3 variable additions to 2, I don't think we need header_size to neaten things up any more.

I think this patch should be for net rather than net-next anyway. Since it appears that maybe_pull_tail() has bigger problems I'll incorporate this fix as part of v4 of the fix for fragment detection.
